Blue Bayou

Song of the moment : Blue Bayou
Album:Simple Dreams

I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes;
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday, come what may to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll be happy then on Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday, gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Oh that girl of mine by my side, the silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, on some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside
I'd never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou

One thing leads to another..watched a movie on tv earlier - 'Hanging Up', about 3 sister and their relationship with one another, and their old father who's a drunk and a dying dementia patient who insists on making life miserable for them in any way he can. They're caught between painful moments and bitter feelings, & yet the overarching boundless love for him - affection based on the past theyve shared and their memories of their childhood. (very nice flashbacks in this films i felt, the whole tungsten effect and something very dreamy about it, like a hazy vision which is Ethereal and yet so vivid like you're still living it right now)....imagine a slow motion carousel..spinning,slowly while images whizz past...weird analogy i know but if u catch the drift, u'll know exactly waht i'm talking about.

Nice movie, very down to earth and relatable to-able...though its brought about a whole avalanche of emotions and thoughts - very uncalled for. Serves me right for lounging around watching tv instead of sittnig glued to my seat trying to make sense of Karl Marx's theories on capitalism and communism. I hate terminology, i've been saying this since i was in primary school but noone seems to get it or take me seriously enough. I was doing my readings ok!Except this movie caught my attention coz the old father looks soo much like Morrie (from tuesdays with morrie) , & fr a minute i thought that it was that movie they were showing. Honestly, i dont regret the break. I do wish i could shake of this strange feeling that's come over me though. a bit stifling, like being wrapped in a thick woollen blanket on a warm day.
Right.

Back to Marx :

" Even in the condition of society most favourable to the worker, the inevitable result for the worker is overwork and premature death, decline to a mere machine,a bond servant of capital, which piles up dangerously over and against him,decline to more competition and to starvation or beggary...
...This class has always to sacrifice a part of itself in order not to be wholly destroyed...
...The goal of the economic system is the unhappiness of this system."

Oh boy.....this what they call a reality slap on the face man.
